Western Red Cedar 5-inch Pickets: Featured Product

Western red cedar is considered to be one of the finest wood fencing materials. Very rich and vibrant in its red color, this wood has many exceptional qualities such as high dimensional stability, an easy-to-stain surface and its decay and insect resistance.

A Picket Size Just for You

If you’re looking into installing a wooden fence, western red cedar is an excellent choice. But it’ll only work if you find the right picket size for your property and preferences. Most suppliers sell a standard 4-inch and 5-1/2 inch wooden picket. However, there is a big difference between these two sizes, leaving some looking for more options.

At America’s Fence Store, we understand the customer’s need for alternatives and we are one of the few in the market to offer a 5-inch picket option. These 5-inch pickets give customers more choices and customization so they can really make their fence their own.

Our western red cedar 5-inch pickets are dimensional, which means their actual size is a little less than is listed. These pickets’ dimensions are actually 5/8” x 5” x 6’.

Great Qualities

Western red cedar is known for making beautiful fences, its warm red wood drawing in many. These cedar fences bring curbside appeal along with their other noteworthy benefits. Western red cedar is also very receptive to stains in case you want to freshen it up as it ages.

Western red cedar takes in and releases water regularly, which helps to stop it from shrinking and warping. Fences made with this cedar are long-lasting and will stay looking good-as-new for many years.

There are natural oils in cedar that act as preservatives to the wood. These oils help protect the wood from insects and decay. Western red cedar does not need any chemical treatments to build up its resistance, keeping these pickets safe and non-toxic. With a much smaller threat from rot and termites, western red cedar has an impressively long utility life when compared to other wood fence materials.
